High Capacity Bearing

摘要

A high load capacity bearing that includes a cylindrical outer sleeve that fits around a separable cylindrical outer race assembly. The outer race assembly includes a set of non-helical grooves formed on its inside surface that mesh and engage teeth formed on the outside surface of a plurality of rotating rollers that are longitudinally and axially aligned inside the outer race assembly. The rollers are longitudinally aligned and evenly space apart and rotated as a unit inside the outer race assembly. Located inside the rollers is an inner race with non-helical grooves formed on its outside surface that mesh and engage the teeth on the rollers. The inner race includes a smooth inside bore that fits around the support surface on a shaft. During use, the inner race is becomes fixed on a support surface on a shaft and the outer sleeve and outer race assembly are mounted on a part.

1. A high load capacity bearing configured to be mounted on a load supporting section of a shaft with an abutment edge adjacent to said load support surface, said shaft includes external threads and a nut attached thereto that when sufficiently tightened, comprising:
a. a cylindrical outer race assembly includes a plurality of inward facing, non-helical grooves; b. a rotating roller assembly coaxially aligned and located inside said outer race assembly, said roller assembly includes a plurality of rollers with a plurality of non-helical teeth; c. a cylindrical outer sleeve disposed around said outer race assembly; and d. means for transferring a load force between a load support section of said shaft and said rollers including a cylindrical inner race with a center bore that slides over said shaft, said inner race includes a plurality of non-helical grooves configured to mesh with said teeth on said rollers, said inner race fixed to said shaft by said nut.
